Home from a fabulous @NatAmbLGBTUK meeting at @Ldn_Ambulance's new operations & training centre in #LondonDocklands. A chance to say thank you to @Shane_Finnegan, outgoing Vice Chair of the @EastEnglandAmb @EEAST_LGBT staff network for all your dedication over the years. 🏳️‍🌈💚🏳️‍⚧️

[National Ambulance LGBT+ Network 🏳️‍🌈 @NatAmbLGBTUK]

The 2018 LGBT staff survey results helped guide us on areas of success to celebrate but also areas that need collective challenge and so, we’re doing it again…

Work for the Ambulance Service and Identify as LGBT+?

So pleased with our @EastEnglandAmb LGBT+ Staff Support Network meeting tonight. Exec & Non exec representation, @NatAmbLGBTUK, our EDI team, @Magpas_Charity and numerous clinical and non clinical staff & volunteers coming together to improve patient care and employee experience.

[EEAST Ambulance Service @EastEnglandAmb]

The NHS in the EEAST region is currently under extreme pressure – if you need to contact us because of a life-threatening condition or serious injury, please call us on 999. For all other calls, please go to 111, your GP or a minor injury centre.

[EEAST Ambulance Service @EastEnglandAmb]

We cannot provide you with an ETA for an ambulance.

Please only call back if the patient’s condition has changed. If you do need to call us back, please tell us at the start of the call that you have called before.

We’re very busy and trying to get to our sickest patients.

[EEAST Ambulance Service @EastEnglandAmb]

Our service is under extreme pressure. Ambulances delayed outside hospitals & high call volumes. We have increased our escalation state across the Trust. Please support us by using our services wisely & only calling for life-threatening illnesses & injuries

[Graham Clark 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ @GrahamClark24]

Thank you @NWAmbulance for inviting @EastEnglandAmb to participate in #ManchesterPride2022 parade @ManchesterPride @EEAST_LGBT

[EEAST Ambulance Service @EastEnglandAmb]

Think before you park. Can an emergency vehicle get through in an emergency?

Please make sure you leave enough space for our ambulances and other blue light colleagues are able to pass you 🚑
